The best decision we made for our wedding! ❤️

We had an amazingly wonderful experience working with Tyanna and her team for our August 2026 wedding! Not only was Ty extremely efficient and dedicated to helping us coordinate, but also incredibly kind and supportive throughout the entire process — I could not possibly recommend her enough!

From the start, Ty consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything came together the way we had envisioned it for our special day. We chose to have a plated dinner for our reception. The food was so incredibly delicious, our guests could not stop raving about how much they loved it!

We truly felt like we were in good hands with them. Ty was such an important part of making our wedding day as wonderful as it was, and we are so grateful for everything she and her team has done. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, hardworking, and genuinely invested in making your wedding everything you could’ve hoped for, Plan It to the T is absolutely the way to go! ❤️

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

We had an amazing experience working with Ty at Plan It to the T for my parents’ 50th anniversary vow renewal. From the very beginning, Ty was incredibly detail-oriented and took the time to truly understand our vision. She listened carefully to every idea and made sure every detail reflected what we wanted. The final result was absolutely beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. The décor was elegant, the catering was excellent, and everything came together seamlessly. Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication made the entire process stress-free. We received so many compliments from our guests, and we couldn’t have been happier. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life, I highly recommend Plan It to the T. Thank you, Ty, for helping make such a special day unforgettable!

They do it all!

As a wedding planner, I cannot tell you how amazing it was to book Plan it to the T for catering, bartending, staffing, rentals, and florals! It was amazing to know I had one person in one corner helping make my clients vision become a reality and tying everything together so beautifully. She has an amazing vision, great network of peers, and the food was incredible! Cannot recommend booking Tyanna and her team for your wedding or event enough! I will be excited to work with her again in the future!

Amazing wedding planner!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! I got married on June 29, and from the moment I hired Tyanna in December, she made me feel completely at ease. Planning a wedding in just six months is no small task, but she made it feel effortless. From start to finish, she handled every detail (EVERY DETAIL, DOWN TO THE CAKE OKAY!) with professionalism, organization, and genuine care.

She was always responsive, communicated clearly throughout the entire planning process, and truly listened to my vision and what was most important to me. She made me feel heard, offered thoughtful advice when I needed it, and made sure every detail reflected exactly what I wanted.

On my wedding day, there was an unexpected delay that was completely outside of her control. Instead of letting it throw off the day, she quickly adjusted the entire timeline as if nothing had happened. Everything continued to flow seamlessly, and my guests had no idea there had even been a change. Watching her handle the situation with such confidence and grace gave me complete peace of mind.

Because of her, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment instead of worrying about logistics. The fact that she helped bring my dream wedding to life in only six months—and executed it so flawlessly—is a true testament to her talent and dedication. The food was amazing, and our guests are still talking about it! The bartender was just as incredible and kept the drinks flowing all night. We've received so many compliments from our family and friends, with many telling us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended. Every detail came together beautifully, and that's a reflection of the incredible work she put into making our day so special.

Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is organized, communicative, adaptable, and genuinely invested in making your vision come to life, I can't recommend her enough. Thank you for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more!

Mr. & Mrs. Rowe ❤️

Beyond My Wildest Dreams

I loved working with Tyanna “Ty” Wilson from Plan it to the T. She was the perfect partner as I planned my June 2026 Wedding. I met her at the Washington DC Bridal Expo and from our first interaction, I knew I wanted to work with her. The fact that her first question to me was NOT “how much is your budget?”, I knew she was a real one. I also valued the fact that she is literally a one stop shop. I hired her as my wedding planner, caterer, decor and designer. The fact that she has an in-house caterer was a bonus AND the food was really good.

I highly recommend her for any event you are planning. She is always positive, encouraging, responsive and professional. As one planner to another, I recognize and appreciate the attention to detail and value the fact that she shared my vision and executed beyond what I imagined. She is resourceful and committed to the overall experience as well as the detailed aesthetic.

Yummy food and perfect attention to detail

I hosted a tea for my dear friends and Plan it to the T-Catering and Planning helped create a special and memorable event. The food was delicious while still meeting my guests’ many dietary restrictions - gluten free, vegan, shellfish allergy and nut free. I wanted cuisine that was filling, more like small plates than a traditional tea and they exceeded my expectations. The table settings and decor all set the stage for my friends who are all moms to unwind, relax, eat, drink and enjoy each others’ company.

Fantastic Catering at a Great Price

We had a wonderful experience working with Tyanna and her team for our wedding. From the beginning, they were professional, responsive, and very accommodating to our budget needs. Their pricing was significantly lower than other caterers we looked at and honestly the only option we found that truly fit within our limited budget without sacrificing quality.

On the wedding day, the staff was efficient, organized, and did an excellent job moving throughout the venue without ever feeling intrusive. Everything ran smoothly, and so many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food. We were genuinely impressed by both the quality of the service and the value for the money. We’re very grateful to Tyanna and her staff for helping make our wedding such a success!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
